Persistent online multi-player would be the shit for a GTA game. Something like World of Warcraft, where the server is running 24/7 and is a virtual world.
I think it'd get too crazy. I mean, it'd be fun to log into once in a while, maybe. But if that was the main game, it'd be lame, just because you wouldn't be able to go anywhere without being shot. I mean, everybody would be shooting everybody, and you'd probably respawn at the hospital every five seconds, and then people would keep on respawing at the hospital, getting in massive fistfights..
It'd just be chaos.
I mean, it could be fun, but it'd get old..
